For the novice woodworkers, it can be quite frustrating to think of projects that are easy enough for their skill level, yet give the same amount of satisfaction as say making a huge, intricate wooden cabinet. The truth is that there are a lot of simple woodworking projects all around your home, you just need to keep your eyes open for them.
Take a look at your kitchen, this room in your house can do with some improvements. You can make a simple wall mounted bookshelf for your cookbooks, or you can make a simple knife holder. And if you have a bit more skill and plenty of time on your hands, you can try your hands at making a small table for your kitchen nook.
The bathroom is also another good place that can do with some simple wooden furnishings. You can make a simple towel rack that you can hang on your bathroom wall, you can also make a simple medicine cabinet, or even a tissue roll holder. Just be sure to treat your wooden pieces after you make them so that they can withstand the moisture in the bathroom.
You can also create some wooden items for your hallway as well, like a hat and coat holder you can attach at the back of your door, or maybe a simple umbrella stand. These items do more than just decorate your halls; they can also keep them clutter free.
The living room is one of the best places where you can put your woodworking skills to good use. You can make shelves to place your TV and other electronic appliances on. You can also make a simple bookcase to display your favorite reading materials. Shelves are so simple and yet very useful that you can place them everywhere in your house and they will still be usable, like in your bedroom for your family’s pictures and other little knick-knacks.
If you have small children you can also make them some simple wooden toys, why you can even get them to help you and make it into a family bonding experience. You can cut and shape the pieces of wood, while your kids can help put them together and paint them afterwards.
Wood is such a versatile building material that you can never run out of things that you can make out of them. With a little imagination and a bit of creativity, you can take your love of woodworking and give your home your personal touch.
